#UnrestSA hotspots
In the past week, South Africa has been ravaged by violence, looting and riots following the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma. What started as a destructive objection to his arrest quickly turned into opportunistic incidents of violence, mainly centered in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng. To get a sense of the extent of the damage, News24 has compiled a map of "hotspots" depicting the location of each attack and a description of what took place. Each location has been confirmed by sources, including the Institute for Security Studies, our own reporters on the ground, and other reputable media reports.
